Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 114 There was no other way; he fought and snatched it!
Qi Yunzhou's eyes seemed to suddenly unleash a silent tsunami, almost breaking through the cage.
He tried his best to control himself, but seemed to have failed somewhat.
"Yaoyao, I'll pick you up later. I'm going home first."
After saying this in a low, hoarse voice, Qi Yunzhou quickly got up and left, as if something was chasing him.
Xi Yao was somewhat surprised by his series of actions.
"Just like that, you left?"
[Host, the boss's hormones were about to explode just now. If you don't leave now, you'll embarrass yourself.]
Xi Yao: ...
⌓‿⌓
After the sun went down, Qi Yunzhou arrived on time to pick up Xi Yao, and the two went to eat hot pot.
That night, Xi Yao ate a lot and successfully stuffed herself.
Qi Yunzhou spent the entire time serving Xi Yao, and he himself didn't eat much.
Feeling stuffed, the two decided to take a walk in Binjiang Park to digest their food.
Qi Yunzhou lagged half a step behind, his gaze falling on her hands that hung naturally at her sides, and he couldn't help but twitch his fingers.
"Yao Yao".
"Um?"
Xi Yao turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
"I can hold your hand..."
"Bei Xiyao!"
The sudden sound interrupted Qi Yunzhou's unfinished words, causing the two of them to instinctively look up.
Li Beichen stood a few steps away with Ai Qingqing.
His face was filled with undisguised anger, after all, he had just been slapped twice by Xi Yao that afternoon, and the marks hadn't even faded yet.
Ai Qingqing nestled beside Li Beichen, her gaze subtly shifting between Xi Yao and Qi Yunzhou, before a slight smile played on her lips.
"Sister Xiyao, what a coincidence!" Ai Qingqing's voice was soft, with just the right amount of surprise. "It's so late, why are you out here? And with Young Master Qi, walking so close?"
She deliberately emphasized "so late" and "so close".
Only after she mentioned it did Li Beichen notice Qi Yunzhou standing half a step behind Xi Yao. His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Yunzhou? What are you doing with her?"
Qi Yunzhou, who had been gentle and kind to Xi Yao just moments before, suddenly cooled down and reverted to his aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
He said in a flat tone, "I'd like to invite Miss Bei to dinner to thank her for helping me out before."
"Help? How can she help you?" Li Beichen asked instinctively, his tone full of disbelief.
In his eyes, Bei Xiyao was almost worthless except for her status as the eldest daughter of the Bei family and her relentless pursuit of him.
Ai Qingqing seized the opportunity, her tone even softer and more considerate, "Yes, Sister Xiyao, aren't you already married to Beichen? Walking around with a single man like Young Master Qi so late at night, if word gets out, it probably won't be good for the reputation of the Bei and Li families, will it?"
She appeared to be entirely considering the bigger picture.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yao scoffed, her gaze lightly falling on Ai Qingqing, filled with undisguised mockery.
"Sister?" She curled her red lips slightly. "I'm the only son in my Bei family. We don't have any random sisters. You, a wild sparrow who probably flew out of some remote mountain village, dare to call me sister?"
She crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What? You've become so aware of being a mistress that you've automatically assumed the role of a concubine? When you see me, the legal wife, you come up to me and call me 'sister.' Does that mean you have to serve me a cup of tea properly?"
Ai Qingqing's face paled from the barrage of words, her eyes instantly reddening. She grabbed Li Beichen's arm, her voice trembling with grievance, on the verge of tears.
"Miss Bei, how could you misunderstand me like that... I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."
She looked up at Li Beichen, tears welling up in her eyes, a sight that evoked pity.
Li Beichen's expression grew even colder. He shielded Ai Qingqing behind him and sternly reprimanded, "Bei Xiyao! Watch your words! Don't go too far, and stop bullying Qingqing like this!"
"Li Beichen".
A cool voice broke in; Qi Yunzhou, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
He looked calmly at Li Beichen, his tone flat yet sharp: "I think Miss Bei's words are correct. On the contrary, aren't you being a bit too stubborn and unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Li Beichen was completely stunned, staring at Qi Yunzhou in disbelief.
His friend, who has always been indifferent to other people's affairs, especially disputes between women, is someone he avoids at all costs. Why would he stand up for Bei Xiyao today?
An inexplicable sense of unease arose in my heart.
His gaze darted back and forth between the composed Xi Yao and the indifferent Qi Yunzhou.
When did these two get so close?
His sharp gaze was fixed on Qi Yunzhou. "Yunzhou, you've been talking a lot tonight. What's going on between you two?"
Before Qi Yunzhou could answer, Xi Yao had already grown impatient.
She rubbed her still slightly bloated stomach, yawned lazily, and her eyes were still slightly red with sleepiness.
"Li Beichen, instead of spending your time interrogating your good brother, you should take care of your own people first."
Xi Yao glanced at Ai Qingqing, who was hiding behind Li Beichen and secretly looking at her with a smug look, and sneered, "Also, let me remind you, please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible, but before that, please, and the person next to you, be a little more mindful of your image. Don't flaunt your wealth like a peacock with its tail feathers spread out, disgracing the Bei family."
After saying that, she didn't even glance at Li Beichen's instantly ashen face, and turned to Qi Yunzhou, saying, "Let's go, Young Master Qi. Why waste your breath on irrelevant people? I want to go back to sleep."
Qi Yunzhou nodded readily, suppressing his coldness, and followed Xi Yao's steps naturally, even turning slightly to shield her from the cool breeze blowing from the side.
The two walked away side by side, their shadows elongated under the streetlights along the river, appearing exceptionally harmonious.
Li Beichen stared intently at the two receding figures, his chest heaving violently.
That damned Bei Xiyao, she's deliberately using the cloud boat to annoy him!
Using his friend is despicable!
The gentleness on Ai Qingqing's face had long since vanished, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.
In her previous life, Bei Xiyao was clearly a weak and foolish woman. No matter what Li Beichen did, she never mentioned divorce. Why did she bring it up this time?
Furthermore, in her previous life, she and Qi Yunzhou had absolutely no interaction. How come they're so close now? And they seem to know each other very well?
Could it be that Bei Xiyao has also been reborn?
Ai Qingqing's heart skipped a beat; she suddenly had a bad feeling.
She tentatively asked Li Beichen, "Beichen, has Miss Bei been acting strangely lately? She actually brought up divorce, and she's been getting so close to Young Master Qi."
"It's nothing but a ploy to play hard to get," Li Beichen sneered. "She thinks this will get my attention and make me go back? Dream on!"
Ai Qingqing choked for a moment, her face blank with speechlessness.
"But Young Master Qi is usually so aloof, why is he so friendly with Miss Bei?"
